SIGNATURE PROJECT
Main Street PMC: A one-of-a-kind health village for older adults
The Health Village at Main Street PMC is the only healthcare healing environment of its kind,
combining a small-town atmosphere with compassionate, skilled and specialized outpatient care
for older adults, developing and delivering services that help adults age with grace, poise
and confidence.
The Main Street PMC project involves the relocation of historic houses onto the Parrish
Medical Center campus and the building of new structures to resemble old buildings to house
offices, services and programs for older adults-in one location where seniors will feel
comfortable when seeking medical care.
Pamela Tronetti, DO, AGSF, a highly trained geriatrician, is the Medical Director for
Main Street PMC and runs the Parrish Senior Consultation Center (PSCC),
the flagship program
for the health village. At its temporary location on Century Medical Drive near Parrish
Medical Center, Dr. Tronetti and her staff are dedicated to helping to improve the health
and well being of older patients. The Center uses a team approach to thoroughly evaluate
patients, providing specialized consultative geriatric care that helps the patient and
their caregivers.
Programs or services planned for The Health Village include:
- Parrish Senior Solutions – offers information, resources, support services and/or referrals to help bridge the gap between North Brevard medical and social service organizations and programs.
- Parrish Health Connections – multi use space to be used for health related seminars, lifelong learning opportunities, exercise classes, health screenings, support groups, or other community events.
- Diabetes Education Center – offers a full service educational and support program which will include an intensive insulin management program, nutritional counseling, continuous glucose monitoring, and renal disease medical nutritional therapy.

- The Medical Equipment Store – source for medical supplies through local business partnerships.
- A Healthy Eatery – a place for seniors and their caregivers to relax, socialize and get a light meal or snack before or after their medical appointments.
- Multi-generational Education Center – provides an opportunity for children and adults across generations to positively interact through experiential educational opportunities.
- Inn & Hospitality House – lodging for visitors with a hospitalized family member or for others who wish to stay close by to Parrish Medical Center.
- Healing in Motion Transportation Program – provides transportation to and from the Health Village at Main Street PMC or Parrish Medical Center for those who have no other means of transportation.
- Welcome and Philanthropy Center – Jess Parrish Medical Foundation offices located at Main Street PMC to inspire further philanthropy in support of the program and other health initiatives.
The Health Village at Main Street PMC is a healing environment that combines the ambiance and
attractiveness of a small town setting with compassionate, skilled and specialized care for older
adults. It is the right answer and the perfect environment for older adults to receive healthcare
that will enable them to enjoy life today and in the future.
